3D transistors from Intel.

Code-named Ivy Bridge CPUs are the next generation of Intel processors, and they're going to be made with 3D transistors.  Fascinating stuff, considering the size of the actual 3D forms are so minute, they're nearly 1/5th the width of a strand of human hair.

Looks like Moore's Law will be with us for some time to come.  Next up: optical transistors that push us into quantum mechanics and computing...2020?  2025?
